St. Vincent de Paul Orlando Welcomes Vehicle Donations

(APOPKA, FL) – Whether it’s a late-model sedan or an old clunker – or anything in between – St. Vincent de Paul Orlando welcomes any vehicle donation.

All proceeds from local donations are used to support the charity work of St. Vincent de Paul here in Central Florida.

“We are grateful for these donations,” said Trace Trylko, Executive Director. “Proceeds from the Vehicle Donation Program provide a variety of person-to-person services to the poor and needy in neighborhoods across Central Florida, including food, clothing, medicine and housing assistance. In addition, providing a needy person with an affordable, reliable mode of transportation can help them keep a job that supports their family.”

Donating any used car, truck, motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle – working or non-working – is completely hassle-free and can be easily scheduled by calling 800.322.8284, or visiting www.svdpusacars.com.

All donations are tax deductible and a tax receipt can be issued, if necessary.
